Cover art for Fairytale lyrics by Sara Bareilles

this song is pretty much making fun of fairytales. she's explaining that women don't have to wait for a man to sweep them off their feet or save them because we've become a lot more independent since these tales were created. so she says she would rather make her own fairytale than follow someone else's. that's why she constantly says 'your fairytales'. the song is addressed to men who still believe that women should act like these fair maides for them to rescue.
